Waste recycling system with an automatic dumpster

Abstract

A waste recycling system with an automated dumpster includes a main body and the main body includes a main control module. The main control module includes a main control unit, and is electrically connected to a dumpster module. The dumpster module includes a dumpster and the dumpster includes a sub-control module. The sub-control module includes a sub-control unit. The sub-control unit is electrically connected to a power unit and a scanning unit. The power unit is used to drive the dumpster and the scanning unit is disposed at the front end of the dumpster to receive signals. The sub-control unit also includes guiding units. The guiding unit is disposed on the transporting path of the dumpster. By the scanning unit, the scanned signal is transmitted back to the sub-control unit to control the dumpster moving automatically.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A waste recycling system with an automated dumpster comprising:
 a main body including: 
 an opening disposed at a first side of the main body; 
 a movable door panel disposed at a position corresponding to the opening; and used to cover the opening; and 
 an input port disposed at a second side of the main body, and the first side is opposite to the second side; 
 a main control module disposed within the main body and used to control all functions of the recycling system, and the main control module further including: 
 a main control unit used to send or receive commands and feedbacks of all control functions; 
 an input unit electrically connected to the main control unit and disposed at the second side of the main body to display system-related information, and is operated by touch action and transmits input-related information to the main control unit; 
 a payment flow unit electrically connected to the main control unit, and the payment flow unit disposed on the second side of the main body and adjacent to the input unit; 
 a weighing unit electrically connected to the main control unit for weighing weight of recycling materials and transmitting weighing information to the main control unit, and the weighing unit disposed at the second side of the main body, and a position of the weighing unit corresponding to the input port of the main body, wherein the weighing unit has a flat shape and can be folded, so that the input port can be sealed when the weighing unit is not in use; and 
 a wireless receiving unit electrically connected to the main control unit for sending and receiving wireless signals so as to return the wireless signal to the main control unit; and 
 a dumpster module electrically connected to the main control module, and including: 
 a dumpster having a plurality of rollers disposed at bottom of the dumpster, accommodated inside the main body and close to the input port; and 
 a sub-control module disposed on the dumpster and including: 
 a sub-control unit, which is a function control center of the dumpster module, used to transmit or receive control commands and feedback of the dumpster module and electrically connected to the main control unit; 
 a power unit electrically connected to the sub-control unit, and used to connect the plurality of rollers to provide power to drive the plurality of rollers to rotate; 
 a scanning unit electrically connected to the sub-control unit and disposed at a front end of the dumpster, and used for receiving signals and transmitting to the sub-control unit; 
 a sub-wireless unit electrically connected to the sub-control unit to send and receive the wireless signals cooperated with the main control unit to receive control commands; and 
 a plurality of guiding units disposed on a transporting path of the dumpster and straightly extending outside the main body along a direction from the second side to the first side, wherein the scanning unit on the dumpster is scanning and reporting scanned signal to the sub-control unit to control the dumpster operating automatically. 
 
     
     
       2. The waste recycling system of  claim 1 , wherein the main control unit is electrically connected to a refrigeration unit, and the refrigeration unit is located on top of the main body to reduce temperature inside the main body. 
     
     
       3. The waste recycling system of  claim 1 , wherein the input unit is a display touch panel. 
     
     
       4. The waste recycling system of  claim 1 , wherein the payment flow unit is a scanning device for accepting any payment instrument. 
     
     
       5. The waste recycling system of  claim 1 , wherein the payment flow unit is a coin machine. 
     
     
       6. The waste recycling system of  claim 1 , wherein the input unit is provided with an audio playing unit for playing related audio description or prompt sound. 
     
     
       7. The waste recycling system of  claim 1 , wherein the main control unit is electrically connected to a sensing unit, and the sensing unit is used to identify user's identity. 
     
     
       8. The waste recycling system of  claim 1 , wherein the weighing unit is an electronic scale. 
     
     
       9. The waste recycling system of  claim 1 , wherein the main control unit is electrically connected to a compressing unit, and the compressing unit is located inside the main body and corresponds to the position of the dumpster. 
     
     
       10. The waste recycling system of  claim 1 , wherein the power unit is a power motor. 
     
     
       11. The waste recycling system of  claim 1 , wherein the guiding units are signal transmitters. 
     
     
       12. The waste recycling system of  claim 1 , wherein the guiding units are inductive tags for providing signals.
